How SMART is NutriSmart? You Decide!
Listed below (on the Plant Leaf Analyses Table) are the plant tissue analysis results for field corn grown
at four different locations in the Mid West. The growers applied fifty (50) pounds of NutriSmart per acre
to their standard fertility programs. NutriSmart was broadcast over snow in the winter or applied in
deep trench tillage after harvest.

These results are evidence of NutriSmart’s “smart” relationship with the plant roots. Three of Four Case
Studies show sufficient micro nutrition for 92% or more of the parameters measured.

Do your tissue tests show the same results? If not, think NutriSmart!.
